Cereals, Fruit and Vegetables: Yield is a critical challenge in Cl
Yield
Low yield as compared to peers¹
across crops
•
Cereals (42% lower)
•
Beverages (75% decline in yield over the
last decade)
•
F&V (70% lower)
W
Land
Only 36% of the total agricultural land is used
for farming
Large pockets of land not cultivated/
developed
Food Crops
Supply Chain
High wastage due to inadequate
storage infrastructure
•
•
Average food wastage 1.7x of peers
~10% wastage in Côte d'Ivoire
versus 6% in peers1
Key reason is lack of sufficient
refrigerated storage facilities
Low yield driven by
Lack of research, availability and access
•
to improved seeds
•
Low fertilizer usage
Only 0.011 ton/ha fertilizer used in
Côte d'Ivoire vs. 0.15 ton/ ha
in peers¹
Limited mechanization
<2% of the land is under irrigation
•
Most of the farming is rain-fed, can
increase crop intensity and land
cultivated by increasing land
under irrigation
Post harvest supply chain infrastructure
underdeveloped
•
·
Peers at 20x2 tractor penetration
versus Côte d'Ivoire
Crop intensity is ~ 30% lower than other
SSA2 countries
·
Critical challenge-
High cost of transport
Inadequate distribution channels
Limited availability of information & data
Lack of finance
1. Developing Small Farm Nations comprising of 93 nations across Africa, Asia and South America are considered as peers 2. Sub Saharan Africa hp/ha calculated as total hp per 1000 ha of
harvested land in 2014. Côte d'Ivoire has 1.13 hp/ha versus peers (small farm, developing nations) at 20.1
